Default KQ in various scenarios (10+1$ single table SNG)

Hi,

After discussion with a friend I decided to make a post about KQ and different scenarios. What is the correct way of playing them in these situations (single table SNG, 10+1$) :

Scenario 1) blinds 10/20
9 players, hero is UTG+1 with 1500 chips, UTG folds. hero?

scenario 2) blinds 10/20
9 players, hero is OTB with 1500 chips, 3 limpers, hero?

scenario 3) blinds 15/30
6 players, hero is UTG with 1300 chips, hero?

scenario 4) blinds 50/100
6 players, hero is UTG with 1300 chips, hero?

scenario 5) blinds 15/30
6 players, hero is OTB with 1300 chips, 1 limper, hero?

scenario 6) blinds 150/300
Player 1 - 1200 chips
Hero - 3000 chips
SB - 4500 chips
BB - 5200 chips
Player 1 limps, hero?



Cant find of anymore scenarios but if you can feel free to add them. I know some of them, like the last one is very read dependant, but then I like to know how to play if player 1 is aggressive and how to play if he is loose.
Also, if it matters if they are sooted or not also let us know.

Im in a downswing at the moment so every little play is being critically reviewed by myself, and im starting to wonder if playing KQ is a permanent leak.


Best Regards
David

Is the hand suited?

1) Easiest fold of your life
2) Limp if suited
3) Incredibly easy fold
4) Fold
5) Fold
6) Fold

Oh, and player1 in scenario 6 is not aggressive - he just pf limped for 1/4 of his stack. He's a superdonk.

Fold PF in all scenarios.

As for scenario 6, you're going to be looking at Ax enough where you'll be cursing KQ. I'd wait for a better spot in this bubble situation.

KQ is just one of those hands that commonly ends up being dominated or a 3:2 dog. Trouble.

1) i cleck the "fold" box as soon as i receive the cards [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
2) i limp sometimes, but i like a fold too.
3) instafold. if you limp in this and #1 it is a major leak, imho.
4) fold
5) fold
6) player 1 is not agressive. he has 4BBs, in the bubble and he limped, how can he ever be agressive??? oh, and i fold this very quickly. let the big stacks fight him...

Never limp in scenario 5.

As for pushing scen 6, what happens if blinds wake up with a hand? Don't discount them!

This is a 10+1, I've made a lot of chips in this spot over the years, trust me I record my results.
